Project description:We have previously demonstrated that Sirt3 gene deletion, a model for metabolic syndrome, leads to brain mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation. We also reported that silencing of Sirt3 gene in APP/PS1 mice results in exacerbation of insulin resistance, neuroinflammation and β amyloid plaque deposition. To further understand how metabolic syndrome and amyloid pathology interact, we performed RNA-seq analysis of the brain samples from wild type, Sirt3-/- , APP/PS1 and APP/PS1/Sirt3-/- mice.

Project description:Background: ABCA1 has recently been identified as a novel genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. The major known role of ABCA1 in the brain is to transfer lipids onto lipid poor APOE. Given that APOEε4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for developing late onset Alzheimer’s disease, this recent finding implicates the cholesterol homeostatic pathway in the onset/progression of Alzheimer’s disease. microRNAs (miRs) are small RNA species that negatively regulate expression of their target genes. ABCA1 is regulated by miR-33, and loss of this miR significantly increases protein levels of ABCA1 and increases the lipidation of APOE. However, it is unknown if loss of miR-33 and subsequent increase in ABCA1 protein levels ameliorates amyloid pathology. Methods: We generated miR-33+/+;APP/PS1 and miR-33-/-;APP/PS1 mice to determine changes in amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides and amyloid plaque formation utilizing biochemical and histological analyses. In addition to amyloid pathology, we assessed if deletion of miR-33 altered the activation of glial cells in the brains of these mice. We utilized in vitro methods to determine if miR-33 alters the phagocytosis of Aβ aggregates. We utilized RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry to identify the transcriptome and proteome regulation by miR-33 in the context of amyloid pathology. Results: Deletion of miR-33 dramatically reduces insoluble Aβ peptide levels and the deposition of amyloid plaques in APP/PS1 mice. In addition, we identified that astrocyte and microglial activation is markedly decreased in miR-33-/-;APP/PS1 mice through histological analyses. Intriguingly, we show that loss of miR-33 results in amyloid plaques that are more compact, potentially implicating enhanced microglial phagocytosis. We confirm in vitro that loss of miR-33 significantly increases microglial phagocytosis of Aβ aggregates. Our multi-omics analyses reveal that deletion of miR-33 regulates immune response in the context of amyloid pathology. Interestingly, we identified that WNT/Beta-catenin signaling is significantly upregulated in miR-33-/-;APP/PS1 mice. Conclusion: We confirm that the deletion of miR-33 increases APOE lipidation and significantly reduces amyloid pathology as well as glial activation in APP/PS1 mice. Our results agree with previous work identifying APOE lipidation as an important modulator of amyloid pathology. We show, for the first time, that loss of miR-33 increases the phagocytosis of Aβ by microglia. In total, we identify miR-33 as a promising target for the amelioration of amyloid pathology.

Project description:The major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), APOE4, accelerates beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaque formation, but whether this is caused by APOE expressed in microglia or astrocytes is debated. We express here the human APOE isoforms in astrocytes in an Apoe-deficient AD mouse model. This is not only sufficient to restore the amyloid plaque pathology but also induces the characteristic transcriptional pathological responses in Apoe-deficient microglia surrounding the plaques. We find that both APOE4 and the protective APOE2 from astrocytes increase fibrillar plaque deposition, but differentially affect soluble Aβ aggregates. Microglia and astrocytes show specific alterations in function of APOE genotype expressed in astrocytes. Our experiments indicate a central role of the astrocytes in APOE mediated amyloid plaque pathology and in the induction of associated microglia responses.

Project description:Microglia are central players in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathology, but analyzing microglia states in human brain samples is challenging due to genetic diversity, postmortem delay and admixture of pathologies. To circumvent these issues, here we generated 138,577 single cell expression profiles of human stem cell-derived microglia xenotransplanted in the brain of the AppNL-G-F model of amyloid pathology and wild type controls. Xenografted human microglia adopt a disease-associated (DAM) profile similar to that seen in mouse microglia, but display a more pronounced HLA state, likely related to antigen presentation in response to amyloid plaques. The human microglial response also involves a pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine CRM response to oligomeric Aβo. Genetic deletion of TREM2 or APOE, as well as APOE polymorphisms and TREM2R47H expression in the transplanted microglia modulate these responses differentially. The expression of other AD risk genes is differentially regulated across the distinct cell states elicited in response to amyloid pathology. Thus, we have identified multiple transcriptomic cell states adopted by human microglia in response to AD-related pathology, which should be taken into account in translational studies.

Project description:Deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau along with glial cell-mediated neuroinflammation are prominent pathogenic hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In recent years, impairment of autophagy has been found to be another important feature contributing to AD progression. Therefore, the potential of the autophagy activator spermidine, a small body-endogenous polyamine often used as dietary supplement, was assessed on Aβ pathology and glial cell-mediated neuroinflammation. Oral treatment of the amyloid prone AD-like APPPS1 mice with spermidine reduced neurotoxic soluble Aβ and decreased AD-associated neuroinflammation during disease progression. Mechanistically, single nuclei sequencing revealed AD-associated microglia to be the main target of spermidine. This microglia population was characterized by increased AXL levels and expression of genes implicated in cell migration and phagocytosis. Our data highlight that the autophagy activator spermidine holds the potential to enhance Aβ degradation and to counteract glia-mediated neuroinflammation in AD pathology.

Project description:Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a disorder characterized by cognitive decline, neurodegeneration, and accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Dysregulation of epigenetic histone modifications may lead to expression of transcriptional programs that play a role either in protecting against disease genesis or in worsening of disease pathology. One such histone modification, acetylation of histone H3 lysine residue 27 (H3K27ac), is primarily localized to genomic enhancer regions and promotes active gene transcription. We previously discovered H3K27ac to be more abundant in AD patient brain tissue compared to the brains of age-matched non-demented controls. In this study, we use iPSC-neurons derived from familial AD patients with an amyloid precursor protein (APP) duplication (APPDup neurons) as a model to study the functional effect of lowering CBP/P300 enzymes that catalyze H3K27ac. We found that homeostatic amyloid-reducing genes were upregulated in the APPDup neurons compared to non-demented controls. We lowered CBP/P300 to reduce H3K27ac, which led to decreased expression of numerous of these homeostatic amyloid-reducing genes, along with increased extracellular secretion of a toxic amyloid-β species, Aβ(1-42). Our findings suggest that epigenomic histone acetylation, including H3K27ac, drives expression of compensatory genetic programs in response to AD-associated insults, specifically those resulting from APP duplication, and thus may play a role in mitigating AD pathology in neurons.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Gain-of-function mutations in INPP5D, which encodes for the SH2-domain-containing inositol phosphatase SHIP-1, have recently been linked to an increased risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). Yet, little is currently known in regards to how SHIP-1 affects neurobiology or neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis. METHODS: To bridge this knowledge gap, we generated 5xFAD Inpp5dfl/flCx3cr1Ert2Cre mice to investigate the function of microglial SHIP-1 signaling in response to amyloid beta (Aβ)-mediated pathology. RESULTS: In our studies, we found that SHIP-1 deletion in microglia leads to substantially enhanced recruitment of microglia to Aβ plaques, altered microglial gene expression, and marked improvements in neuronal health. Further, SHIP-1 loss enhanced microglial plaque containment and Aβ engulfment when compared to microglia from Cre-negative 5xFAD Inpp5dfl/fl littermate controls. DISCUSSION: These results define SHIP-1 as a pivotal regulator of microglial responses during Aβ-driven neurological disease.
